Community-based furnishing

Had quite a mix of people over last night to see the place. All guests were required to bring a useful household item, of which I am in need. Just as in traditional societies where the entire community pitches in to build a dwelling, so did I call upon my friends to, as it were, mix dung and mud into a sticky consistency to spread over my thatched walls.
Included in the haul: A lovely sponge and scrubby thingy from W, some Hale family heirlooms back from N, funky martini glasses from A, a printer from M, ecological napkins from V, and an enlarged picture of a famous pop star from S (pictured):
Then this morning I took delivery of two new roommates:
Got them from shady Russians on 28th st. who insisted I pay in cash. No doubt smuggled out of central Africa to finance some insurgency. But they're pretty!

And note, no bamboo. Yet.

I have more family heirlooms to return to you. Now you know what you're getting for Christmas.
